Just our regular reminder of a very important rule for your visits. Thanks to everyone who abides by this, rain or shine. It’s much appreciated!
🚨INSTANT BANS🚨
I hate that we have to post this, but after two serious incidents today, we will be issuing instant bans to anyone seen on CCTV, choosing to not pick up after their dog(s).
💩 One of our regular visitor’s dogs skidded through, and was coated in dog mess that someone hadn’t bothered to pick up. I cannot imagine their drive home, or the bath they had to give.
💩 During our checks this evening, we discovered that someone has picked up after their dog and thrown the knotted bag through the fence into the woods. Why?! It’s senseless and infuriating, and we will have to use a ladder to try and retrieve it tomorrow.
We have always tried to accept that poo picking is an occupational hazard for us, but we will not accept the facilities being disrespected, to the detriment of our valued visitors. It’s not fair on others and it’s not fair on us.
If you intend to visit and not pick up after your dogs, we would ask that you simply go elsewhere.

❤️ Beautiful evening in the Big Field 🌅

💩 We have seen a huge improvement since implementing this policy, but things have been creeping back up in the past week or so, so we’re sharing this as a reminder to all our new visitors.
❤️ Thank you again to all of you who help us to keep things clean and safe for all visitors. It’s very much appreciated!

📣🆙 Volume up for a moment of tranquility in the woodlands at the top of the field today 🌳
As two humans of a bouncy Boxer Dog, we love nothing more than spending time outdoors with our four-legged entertainer. As any human of a Boxer will tell you, they are exuberant, excitable and full of fun... but not always well liked by other dogs. Unfortunately for Vinny, his paw-play and over-enthusiasm, mean that he is often not very popular with other dogs. A number of negative encounters led us to searching for a more private space to walk, whilst rebuilding Vinny’s confidence around other dogs.
There are some lovely private dog fields around Wiltshire, which we have enjoyed using, but with limited availability, we began the search for a private space of our own. We found a lovely hideaway on the road out to Lacock, and many months of planning permission and fencing later, we needed to choose a name for our field. Whilst tidying some paperwork, we rediscovered Vinny’s Kennel Club registration papers, and his full name given at registration... Vinny’s Getaway. Surely a sign!
We’re excited to share our secure walking field with other responsible dog owners, knowing that it’s a much needed facility in the local area. We appreciate that there’s such a diverse range of reasons people might want to use a private exercise space for their dogs, and so we’ve tried to enrich the space with a number of little extras.
- There’s a paddle puddle for those who like to splash (particularly great for bully breeds in warmer weather). We’ve fenced around this so that you can choose whether or not to let your dog(s) get their paws (and your car) wet!
- Low level agility equipment, to learn and practice basic obedience skills without the pressure of an audience. We’ve up-cycled as much of this as possible, to give new life to materials which would have otherwise been disposed of.
- Picnic bench and seating area, so that the humans have a nice place to rest and natter.
- A fetch shelter. As optimistic as we are, there are always going to be unpredictable rainy days. We hope that if you’ve committed to booking a session, and it’s a rainy day, you can play fetch from the shelter so the weather doesn’t ‘put a dampener’ on your dog’s walk.
More additions will make an appearance as time goes by, but we’re sure there’s plenty here to keep you and your dogs entertained (and contained!) and we look forward to meeting you and your pooches during your first visit, for some four-legged fun, unleashed!
